How long after C-Sect can you have another child?

Hi all, I had my first child via normal delivery with forceps more than 10 years ago, but until today, I am still afraid of the pain/process. I'm now already in my late 30s and pregnant with my 2nd child and want to give birth via c-sect. I wish to have another child if I can, but how long after c-sect can we get pregnant again? I don't wish to wait another 2-3 years as l'll be 40s. Any mummies got pregnant again within 1.5 years after c-sect?

hi. :) gynaes would advise to wait till the 2nd year mark before trying but I've seen cases where the couple tried close to the 2 years mark. I guess it really depends on your body. I personally would just go for it & try again after 1.5 years. furthermore, it takes time to get conceived again.

Yeah true, I took more than 1 year to conceive this time 😄. But maybe sometimes v weird, when taking it easy, then it will come 😅
